WAGES & RELATED MATTERS. 19.1 CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURE The aim of this classification structure is to provide opportunities for Employees to gain access to career paths and to recognise skills developed and prior learning. It recognises that many of the operational duties/skills may be grouped into functional streams and career progression will often be along/within these streams. The structure aims to promote flexibility and has ‘higher pay for higher value’ as a core design principle. Notwithstanding, nothing within the classification structure reduces an Employee’s responsibility to follow the reasonable directives of the enterprise. At times the employer may require employees to complete work outside the scope of employment categories in this agreement. Circumstances where this may be required include but are not limited to, where the demand for traditional services have fallen, where the Employer wishes to test new services or the department requests a special service to meet the needs of a case. In all cases employees will be consulted about the arrangements and not disadvantaged. In moving up levels within or between the various function streams Employees will need to demonstrate proficiency in a number of documented skill competencies for each level. The demonstration of the required proficiency for each competency will be via direct observation and written and verbal questioning and will be subject to strict controls and authorisation by the relevant people within the organisation, progression from level to level and from one stream to another will be solely at the Employer’s discretion. The competencies required at each level will be reviewed and changed as necessary to reflect changes in the Employer’s operations over time. Where legislation allows the Employer will provide salary sacrificing arrangements to assist Employees to maximise their after tax pay. Salary sacrificing is restricted to the cash component of gross wages, including superannuation. The Employer may provide additional salary sacrificing benefits beyond cash benefits on a case by case basis.
